Tears

Fang P.O.V

I woke to Max crying! Max doesn't cry. Period. Was she mad about our kiss or was it something else? What have I done? I decided to go to see if she was alright.

"Are you okay?" I asked her squatting down next to her. I touched her shoulder. She kept shuddering from crying so much. Everybody was up and in the kitchen by now and didn't here Max crying.

"Yeah… I'm… fine…I… just… miss… him…" she said in between sobs. She tried to get up but was still half-asleep. I helped her up and she trudged up to her room.

"Ella?" I called. She got up from the table-no doubt waiting for food-and walked over to me.

"Yeah, Fang? What wrong and where's Max?" she asked me worried looking around.

"Well, I woke up and heard Max crying. I asked her if she was okay and she said that she missed 'him'." I told her worried. I guess that was bad because Ella practically flew up to Max.

Ahh flying. I really miss it, but since Jeb broke Iggy, Gazzy, Nudge, and me out of the horrible lab where the experimented on us, he took me to this doctor to take my wings off. The others wanted theirs to stay on but because Jeb was my brother he took my wings off and left the others to make their own choice.

I miss her. Max. Not the Max here but the Max in The Lab. I bet you're wondering if I ever thought about the max from the lab and the Max here ever being the same Max. Well I did and I don't think that they are because the Max from the lab didn't have a sister called Ella, didn't live in the United States, and the Max from the lab's last name had been Ride and the Max's last name here is Martinez. So they can't be the same Max. (A/N: I don't remember what Max's last name was in the beginning so I'm just gonna say that her last name was Ride but she changed it so nobody would recognize her.)

I wonder if she ever made it out okay with that dude, 'Ari'. I hope she did. Dwelling on those thoughts I walked up the stairs to check on Max, but the door was locked.

"I miss them soo much. I'm a horrible person. How could I leave them in there? I'm not even sure if they're alive." She said in between sobs. I heard Ella say something like 'It's okay. It's not your fault.'

"What's going on?" Ari asked behind me. And no he didn't sneak up on me I just didn't care to look around.

"I don't know but she keeps on saying 'I really miss him and it's all my fault'." With that he knocked on the door.

"Max, sweetie can I come in?" Ari asked even though I knew he would go in there even if she didn't want him in there. "Man, this is not good. She hasn't had an episode thinking about the lab since 8th grade." Ari said thinking I didn't hear him. What did he mean 'in the lab'? Ella opened the door and let him in. Since I was in front of Ari I saw Max. Curled up in a ball and sobbing with a… a… wing charm in her hand? Now that the door was closed I stayed for the rest of the conversation. It was made up of 'They're fine Max it's not your fault that you left. It was all the way in England. Yes I know I don't know what it was like but still IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT' both Ari and Ella-more Ella- talking. I heard them getting up so I ran down the stairs quietly.

"So that's the time I blew up my cousin's closet." Iggy ended with everybody laughing. "There you are. You almost missed breakfast. Where's Max she NEVER misses a meal? Or should I say where have Max AND you been?" he said winking with a smile plastered across his face. That all was removed when I punched his arm. Hard

"Um, I was in the bathroom." I said as more of a question than a statement. Max and Ella were walking down the stairs now. Max had puffy and read eyes from crying.

"Whoa! Max are you alright. Why are you crying? Is it about a boy? If it is then he will never see another day? Is it because your nose? Oh no this is so bad. Do you need phaltiful…" was all Nudge got in before Gazzy slapped his hand over her mouth.

"I'm fine." She said sitting down at the table. Now get this, Max didn't eat! She just played with it. We all got up to get our stuff ready. It was Max and I turn to wash the dishes.

"Are you okay?" I whispered in to her ear washing a glass cup.

"Yeah. I'm just missing some of my friends." She mumbled-I didn't get the last part of what she said. I thought she has lived here for her whole life and why did Ella say England? I mean when did they go to England? All questions I would have to contemplate with Iggy and Gazzy once we got home. Before I knew anything was happening Max was in my arms crying into my chest mumbling things I couldn't understand. While I was rubbing little circles in her back I felt something. Something soft. No hard. Both? So I rubbed lower on her back and the thing was still there but got bigger and softer. Almost like… Wings. Max suddenly stiffened. I bet she felt me rub over those weird things on her back. No, no, no this is not happening. It's just my imagination. With that I pulled away from Max's strong grip on me and went to get my stuff ready. I left her standing there with the look of loss and rejection in her eyes. She started crying again. I felt horrible but I seriously had to talk to Iggy.

So did you like it? Now if you think Fang has no emotions well I will prove you wrong in future chapters. Hoped you liked it!
